Dante,

Thank you for your interest in MAP-Tk.  I?m happy to help, but in general you should send questions to kwiver-users at public.kitware.com <mailto:kwiver-users at public.kitware.com> as documented in the README.  This way other users can help if I?m not available.  Also the discussion will be archived so that others with similar issues can find the discussion.

If you just want to get started quickly, you should be aware that there are binary installers for MAP-Tk available for Mac OS, so you don?t need to build it unless you want to modify the code.  Installers for Windows, Linux, and Mac are attached to the versioned releases on Github: https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases <https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases>

Regarding the CMake issues: you are correct that the current version of MAP-Tk builds against Vital.  If you built Vital correctly your Vital build directory should contain ?vital-config.cmake?.  Can you confirm that this file exists in your vital_DIR?  Also, I see in your screenshot you are using the latest CMake release candidate (3.7.0-rc2).  I?m not sure why that would not work, but I haven?t test the release candidate.  You might also consider trying the latest stable release of CMake (3.6.3).

Good Luck,
Matt

Eager to have a further study and intuitive understanding of the excellent work,I am using cmake to compile the source code on my own Imac.From the doc,I was informed that vital is required ,and compilation using cmake is done.When i began to compile the maptk source code ,i was shown the error below?

Subject: [Kwiver-users] MAP-Tk v0.9.0 released
Message-ID: <D4A38FD8-A2D7-4DA3-974B-C60B8CDA63EE@kitware.com>

We have recently released MAP-Tk v0.9.0.  MAP-Tk is the component of KWIVER for photogrammetry.  This release adds support for visualization of dense 3D depth maps, a better loop closure algorithm, support for OpenCV 3, and more.  This blog post gives an overview:
https://blog.kitware.com/map-tk-0-9-0-release-provides-dense-3d-better-loop-closure-and-opencv-3-support/ <https://blog.kitware.com/map-tk-0-9-0-release-provides-dense-3d-better-loop-closure-and-opencv-3-support/>

See the release notes and installer packages are here:
https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases/tag/v0.9.0 <https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases/tag/v0.9.0>

The new features in the MAP-Tk v0.9.0 plugins have already been copied over into the recently refactored KWIVER repository and called ?arrows?.  Vital has also moved into KWIVER.  Very shortly we will update the MAP-Tk master branch to remove the plugins and build against KWIVER instead of the standalone Vital repository.  Going forward, most of the algorithms, libraries, plugins, etc. will live in KWIVER where they can be shared across applications more easily.  MAP-Tk will continue to contain the GUI application and tools targeted toward photogrammetry.

If you have questions, please send them to kwiver-users at public.kitware.com <mailto:kwiver-users at public.kitware.com>.
